Happy #EarthDay to our one and only home 🌎🌍🌏 I recently wrote an article about the price of mass tourism in the Amazon (en español 😉) and I’ve posted about being a responsible tourist in remote places, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit! I always say I was born with a camera in my hands. Whether it was my father’s Canon AE-1 (often without film) or the little aquamarine plastic point-and-shoot my uncle gave me for Christmas when I was six, I’ve been taking photos since before I can remember. Art is everywhere. Even when we don’t notice it, when it seems to blend into the background of the mundane, most of what humans create is influenced by art. 📸 MEDELLÍN 🇨🇴 I’m back! ¡Volví! 🤗 Many “international days” go unnoticed, so one of my goals for 2026 is to start highlighting the ones I believe bring attention to crucial issues we’re facing as a planet. (And a few other, less official but fun ones.) I don’t use black and white very often. Usually, bright colours, pastels, pigments so intense they make me salivate, are what draw my eye in photography. But every now and then, a scene embodies a certain melancholy, a quiet depth, that demands colour be stripped away to focus on the textures. Golden hour on the Aegean Sea 🔱 Viajar con operadores de turismo masivo puede ser cómodo, fácil y económico, pero, ¿cuáles son las consecuencias para los territorios donde trabajan?
